Option D: is the x-coordinate
Explanation:
It is given that the coordinates of the line segment are A(3,2) and B(6,11).
Since, the line is partitioned by the point C by the ratio AC : BC = 2 : 3
The distance between the x-coordinates is 3 units.
To determine the value of the x-coordinate for point C, let us divide the value of x-coordinate from the ratio divided by the sum of ratio.
The value of x-coordinate from the ratio is 2.
Sum of the ratio is 2 +3 = 5
Thus,
The x - coordinate = value of x-coordinate from the ratio / Sum of ratio = 2/5
Substituting the values, we have,
The x - coordinate of the Point C =
Thus, Option D is the correct answer.
